- Tesla has issued a recall for all rear-wheel-drive Cybertrucks sold over the past two years due to a risk of wheels detaching.
- The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) warned that fragile stud holes could lead to wheel stud separation, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Only 173 vehicles are affected by the recall, with the low number attributed to the Cybertruck's poor sales performance since its launch.
- Tesla will replace the hubs, lug nuts, and front and rear brake rotors on all affected vehicles free of charge to owners.
